AmazonBasics Two Port Charger Laptops Delivery Reviews Summary

Charging Speed

Pros:

• "It's also much lighter than my factory charger so it's easy to carry around."
• "I'm happy to say that it works perfectly I logged 4-5 hours of playtime with zero issues."
• "It has worked great so far and was the lowest price on a charger with this wattage that I found."
• "One of the biggest positives that I like about this wall charger is the fact that it gives me the ability to duel fast charge two of my devices at one time at their absolute fastest speeds."
• "It charges my phone pretty quickly and doesn't take up much room so I can just throw it in my work bag."
• "This charger is very fast, my laptop charges to 100% from 0 in less than an hour."
• "It's got a bit of heft, which if your outlets are stretched and don't hold things plugged into them very well, could work against you, but when plugged into an undamaged outlet this thing is solid and charges like a champ!"

Cons:

• "It's only a little faster than my regular charger by about 10 minutes. I was thinking it would be like 30 minutes faster at charging."
• "This thing shocked me after getting really hot. I'm literally shocked."
• "The 100W 4-port charger has sloooooooow USB-A ports."
• "It has a difficult time staying plugged in."
• "It's also a poor design in that the weight and position of the prongs, and their relatively thin size, means it cannot be plugged in to the wall without falling out."
• "This charge at 30w despite the claims so charging speeds are very slow."
• "for example, when using to charge a power station where the charger is going all-out for a few hours, it does get quite hot. Around 60C or so (70C at the connector interface)."

Design and Portability

Pros:

• "Another positive would be the folding prong design so when I'm not using the wall brick I can easily fold the charging prongs and drop it into a pocket or a backpack."
• "It’s tiny, has a foldable plug, perfect for when you’re hustling around."
• "The outlet prongs fold down which makes it super convenient to throw into your travel/office kit."
• "It's adorable, and it's significantly smaller than the 30W charger included with the M1 MacBook Air."
• "The thing I like about this wall brick is the prongs are foldable."
• "It's size is absolutely perfect for traveling, and also for using as the main charger for my laptop."
• "It's also compact and portable just like the mini PC."

Cons:

• "Bulky- falls out of wall outlets because unbalanced and heavy. Smaller more portable options out there- albeit a little more expensive."
• "It replaces a lot of chargers but it will eat a whole wall outlet worth of space."
• "So the added weight makes the charger fall out of the outlet on the wall. (Not a tight fit in the wall)"
• "Very large block no matter where it was positioned or direction it put it in this ate up 2 plugs on a power strip."
• "The weight of the charger would pull itself out of the outlet so I had to place an object under it to support the weight."
• "They are soooo big! These wall plugs will fall out because of the weight of the unit."
• "Then one stopped working and started to make a buzzing noise when plugged in and the other one's usb C port doesn't work."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "Best price compared to other brands."
• "I think the price point is appropriate as well."
• "Much much cheaper than other options."
• "The build quality feels solid, and the price is much more affordable than competitors like Anker."
• "This is one of the smallest and lightest 65w chargers with proper safety certifications (UL + PSE in this case)."
• "Easily the best price for what you get compared to other brands and their offerings."
• "Cheaper than all other equal options 60 watt charges, plus it’s Amazon Brand."

Cons:

• "The price of this charger may be higher than some other wall chargers on the market."
• "This ends up being a relatively expensive replacement for 'some' laptops and big battery devices that use PD only."
• "Sadly, this 100w wall charger never worked. Unfortunately, there's no option to return the product and I have apparently wasted my money."
• "The overall footprint or size of the wall charger is a little bit big."
• "There are also cheaper products than this but this product is a decently well made quality product."
• "This is the first Amazon Basics product I've been disappointed in. Now I'll be on the lookout in the future."
• "The charger can output 68w. not a typo. this wee little charger can push 68w18watt QC3.0/C PD type standard for the Top C port and 50-60watts PD over the Second C port."

Customer Service and Reliability

Pros:

• "Good for the price but watch what you order - mine said it would come with the USB-C cable and did not, and it took a lot of back and forth with customer service for them to acknowledge the error was on their side."
• "Both chargers stopped working after 4 months. Amazon was quick to send warranty replacements, but the chargers are not reliable."
• "I still rate it five stars and I don't give out five stars easily."
• "I highly recommend this product."
• "Recommended!"
• "I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this product to family and friends."
• "Amazon Basics products are all up to standard and they perform 100%."

Cons:

• "This thing shocked me after getting really hot. I'm literally shocked."
• "Worked great on my M1 MacBook Air until today when it just died."
• "Charger became completely useless after 4 months and wouldn't charge my laptop or phone at all."
• "I've now returned two of these for the same defect."
• "If you're going to stick your name on it...AMAZON, at least have the decency to support you junk and exchange it."
• "This item stopped working after a week, tried getting a replacement but the Amazon branded item was not eligible for a return or replacement."
• "Had this for about 15 months. Worked fine but it randomly stopped working."
